We just passed the Covid relief bill with $15 minimum wage increase. Disappointed that zero Republicans voted to provide support to Americans struggling across our country. We now wait to see what happens to the bill in the Senate next week.
I get it now. Ted and Heidi Cruz wanted their children to be safe, to have basic sanitary services like heat and running water, to leave behind a third-world apocalyptic nightmare for a safer place. Like so many parents before them, they decided to cross the Mexican border.
Wow.
We officially raised $1 million for Texas relief at 9:17pm.
Thank you all so much. 🙏🏽 I’m at a loss for words. Always in awe of movement work.
💯% of this relief is going straight to Texan food assistance, homelessness relief, elder care, and more. https://t.co/DSkTSqfbkZ
I feel like I owe @tedcruz an apology. When he voted against sending aid to my home state of New Jersey after Sandy I accused him of only caring about Texas. I was obviously wrong.
Watching Greg Abbott today pound the table and say "we'll find out what happened!" was offensive.
Everyone knows what happened. For-profit generators refused to spend money to winterize.
Abbott knows this. He's desperate to avoid accountability.
Picture it. December 2016. Hillary Clinton refuses to concede. Instead, she and Obama are personally calling the legislatures of several states to overturn the results of their elections. Tell me, what do you think Republicans (and most Democrats) would be doing in response?
@realDonaldTrump Integrity. I know you can’t understand the word, but he actually has integrity and will protect the sanctity of or democracy from a complete loser like you. Have you started packing yet?
